Synopsis

Function: pgfObject
Usage:

pgfObject(pict)
Inputs:
- pict, an instance of the type Picture,
Outputs:
- a string, containing the description of all the graphic primitives contained in the Picture in pgf

Description

The options that are not given in the hash table parts of the various FormattedGraphicPrimitives in the picture are set at their default values if they are contained in defaultPGFOptions. Options not listed in possiblePGFOptions are discarded.

i1 : myfgp1=formatGraphicPrimitives({point(20.,30.),point(30.,40.)},hashTable {"fill"=>"black"})

o1 = FormattedGraphicPrimitives{{Point2D{20, 30}, Point2D{30, 40}}, HashTable{"fill" => black}}

o1 : FormattedGraphicPrimitives

i2 : myfgp2=formatGraphicPrimitives({circle(point(20.,30.),10)},hashTable {"fill"=>"red"})

o2 = FormattedGraphicPrimitives{{Circle{Point2D{20, 30}, 10}}, HashTable{"fill" => red}}

o2 : FormattedGraphicPrimitives

i3 : mypict=picture({myfgp1,myfgp2})

o3 = Picture{FormattedGraphicPrimitives{{Point2D{20, 30}, Point2D{30, 40}}, HashTable{"fill" => black}}, FormattedGraphicPrimitives{{Circle{Point2D{20, 30}, 10}}, HashTable{"fill" => red}}}

o3 : Picture

i4 : pgfObject(mypict)

o4 = \draw[fill=black] (20,30) circle (0.1);
     \draw[fill=black] (30,40) circle (0.1);
     \draw[fill=red] (20,30) circle (10);
